How to Make Coffee Essential Oil

2. 1 cup of Olive oil

Utensils: 

1. Stainless steel infuser or mesh cloth infuser
2. Pot or cooker

Method: 

The procedure is easy to do and can be done at home at any time. Chronologically, the steps of making coffee extracted oil are given:

1. The first step is to simply put coffee beans and olive oil inside the cooker.
2. Turn the heat on and keep mixing the materials so that coffee beans are coated perfectly with olive oil.
3.  Keep it on low heat for approximately 8 to 10 hours. Raw or unroasted coffee beans require high heat and constant stirring.

Things to look out for while using coffee essential oil

The organic concentrated material always comes with side effects as they are not mixed with any other substance to decrease their intensity. Results show that three things should be taken into account while using essential oil.

Sensitive skin

If you have delicate skin, I will recommend going to a professional before using it on your skin. Or you could use a little amount of oil on a small area of your skin to see if it causes any irritation or itchiness, if it does, do not use this oil at all, you can just use it for its scent. Numerous people also have allergic reactions to coffee. It would be in their best interest if they do not use this.  

Pregnancy 

Being pregnant takes away a lot of the fun things of life from you, this is one of them. Most doctors advise avoiding any kind of essential oil. Moreover, I would not recommend a child use this oil either as it is concentrated. 

Without seeking professional advice

When using any new product which you believe gives other good uses, you should first consult a professional before actually buying, using, or making them. It could prove to be lethal if you do not seek professional advice, instead of getting benefits you would be taking your health for granted. 

Coffee essential oils have been studied thoroughly for their uses as well as side effects. If you are a coffee lover, using this will prove beneficial in your everyday productivity. Moreover, this can be a nice handmade gift for a loved one as well.
